SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Keeps plan progress, phase transitions, and metadata in a single, structured JSON file so teams can track work, audit changes, and surface context for tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read/write status.json to store plan state (title, phases, current phase, metadata, timestamps).
  • Manage phase lifecycle: set-phase, update-phase, and automatic progress calculation.
  • Store and retrieve metadata for classification, auditing, and dashboards.
  • Get a combined context (title, current_phase, progress, metadata) for downstream tools.

Quick Start

Create a new plan status with initial phases, then advance the current phase as work progresses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track plan phases and metadata in a JSON file?

Track plan phases and metadata by writing state to a structured status.json file. This approach stores titles, current phases, and audit metadata in a single JSON store for team tracking and dashboard integration.

What is the best way to manage phase lifecycle and calculate progress in a JSON store?

Manage phase lifecycle in a JSON store by applying set-phase and update-phase commands. Progress calculates automatically as phases advance, updating timestamps and current phase state for workflow auditing.

Can I use command-line scripts to initialize plans and update status metadata?

Use command-line scripts to initialize plans and update status metadata. The skill exposes commands to create plans, set phases, and record metadata, enforcing a JSON schema with title, phases, and timestamps.

How do I get combined context from status.json for downstream dashboards?

Get combined context from status.json by retrieving title, current_phase, progress, and metadata together. This exposes a unified context for downstream tools, enabling dashboard visualization and tooling integration.

Does this JSON status tracker require external dependencies?

This JSON status tracker requires no external dependencies. It operates independently using scripts to read and write the status.json file, enforcing the schema and managing phase transitions locally.
